Yeh its going up by 100kb/s every 2-3 seconds and it use to go to 10kb/s every second, apparently we will get 2.75mb - 3mb more on our gmail accounts each day, so in a year we will have 3GB :)

Lol Gmail owns Hotmail so much :p 2.05GB for free, and pop access, 10mb file attachments and rich text formatting :woot:

Wow! especially the bit on..

Google needs a massive amount of storage. This week, Google said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would boost its investment in storage and servers to around US$500 million, a 50-percent jump from last year.

Next I hope they upgrade file attacments to 100mb - that would proper own :cool:?:DD

Agreed...

Hell knows what else google has lined up (messenger, browser etc). I wonder how things stay so secret at google.

Also, is it only me who noticed the Google Ride Finder[/b]> in google labs.

It shows you the actual position of taxis in the US (i'm guessing they use GPS or summint).

The Gmail storage counter will stop at 2075MB :no: :(

var CP = [
 [ 1112331600000, 1025 ],
 [ 1112439600000, 2050 ],
 [ 1113062400000, 2075 ]
];

Hint: View Page Source... ;)

It will hit 2075MB on 10 April 2005! :blink:

After 750,000 seconds or 208.(3) hours or 8.(6) days from 2 April 2005 :sleep:

Those are the points i think that it slows down?

Cos its slowed at 2050 so at 2075 it'll slow down like hell :yes:

I don't think so... because initial storage was 1000MB...

Maybe those are points were it will stop...

First time, it was a faster increase to 1025MB, then a slow one to 2050 and it will end at 2075...

,Apr 2 2005, 14:11]oh well, spoiled my fun...i thought we would have an extra GB by next year, oh well :(.  but i'm happy with 2075MB :) ...if only the attachment limit would be increased......

Sorry... Maybe I'm wrong... :cry:

I want the attachment to be increased too...

You can make a suggestion to Google at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/

BTW: Now Gmail works with Opera 8.0 too :)

It is gonna stop at 2075mb probably, and google will manually add storage on, as if you put your system clock a year forward it says 2075 megabytes (and counting).

God this 2050mb -> 2075mb is awkward when you know what its gonna be :(

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
